Leica Microsystems has launched Leica Application Suite X (LAS X), an easy-to-use imaging software for life sciences covering widefield, confocal and super-resolution platforms. LAS X introduces new features for image acquisition, processing and analysis while maintaining established principles of its predecessor software LAS AF, such as the workflow-based approach. Curated Read more…
NIH Grant has been awarded to Hudson Robotics and Johns Hopkins University for in vivo Studies. Cell imaging on in vivo studies on whole organism as zebrafish is a powerfull tool during drug discovery. Nevertheless, the throughput is really low to be used during preliminary drug discovery. Working on implementation Read more…
Few days ago, #tv Rennes, the TV channel of the Rennes City, came to our labs and wanted to know more about our business. Let’s discover it (in french) !
After #microscopy with #fluorescence in high throughput called High Content Screening (HCS), super-resolved fluorescence microscopy was appeared. Eric Betzig, Stefan Hell, and William Moerner have won the 2014 #nobel #prize in #chemistry for their work on this technology. We can imagine that in the near future, we can perform HCS with super-resolved Read more…
We are really proud to annonce that we win a #prize at “cré’acc 2014”, a french national competion to support business #creation. Nathalie MAUBON (CEO) is distinguished with the “Business creation by a woman” prize. You could find informations about the cré’acc competition on the website www.concours-creacc.fr Find the intervention of Nathalie MAUBON Read more…
More and more articles show the advantages of #3d culture compared to 2D in #oncology field. This article describe how to do high throughput using 3D culture by rapid size profiling analysis over time on tumor spheroids. “Tumor size is the most frequently used in vivo endpoint when assessing antitumor efficacy in Read more…
A group at Harvard solved one of the most difficult challenges involved in growing artificial human organs. The team used a 3-D printer to make human tissue that includes rudimentary blood vessels. Emboldened by that success, the researchers have started an ambitious project to make fully functioning printed kidneys. If Read more…
More and more publications especially in US use 3d printing technology to create hierarchical tissue constructs. Another example on heart is described in this article. After apparition of fablab, we could see apparition of biolabs in the near future. Technologies have been rapidly advancing that will enable researchers to fabricate Read more…
We have just get the keys of our new laboratories, 120 m² area, in the biopole of #rennes, a new building especially for start-up in biotechnology. You are welcome to come, visit us at 6 rue Pierre Joseph Colin and take a coffee ! Dans un contexte économique incertain, le projet Read more…
The Vision Summit interviewed Dr Urban Liebel, co-founder of Acquifer based in Karlsruhe Germany at this year’s NIWeek, on the perspective of development of #hcs machine in the future. This interview tooked place in Austin, Texas at the beginning of August. The development of #next generation HCS machines is possible Read more…
Dr. Kim remarked, “Our research is significant in that we presented a candidate material for a new drug for #diabetes without side effects.” He added, “We will try hard to develop a new drug for type 2 diabetes through a follow-up study using automated equipment for high-content screening recently built Read more…
#hcs by multiplexing assays on #3d cell culture have many advantages to find more efficient new drugs for #cancer treatment. Progress in the IT part, on softwares, on the uses on big data and in the machine on speed and sensitivity allow to do multiplexing assays in HCS . This article Read more…
Before the discovery and development of molecular biology, screening assays to find new drugs was performed on animals. Since the last decade with #high content screening, assays on whole organisms come back in primary screening. In this article, the author have identified 20 potential stimulators of beta-cell replication #in Read more…
In this presentation, Dr. Kamyar Hadian (head of the #assay development and Screening Platform’ at the HelmholtzZentrum München in Munich/Germany) talk about #hcs use in #stem cell– and microtissue-based assays. #phenotypic screening has highly emerged in the past years. Especially High-Content Screening (HCS) has gained strong acceptance in the field Read more…
marketreports.com publish a report on hts development and potential market in 3 next years. This market report summarizes the results of HTStec’s global web-based benchmarking survey on high throughput screening (HTS) metrics and future directions carried out in July 2014 … Curated from marketreports.com
Studying motility by time-lapse imaging cells is often time consuming and low throuput. This article shows how increasing throuput on this kind of assay with open source software.
I was really impressed by the size and quality of the Drug Discovery 2014 organised by ELRIG in Manchester. More than 1,500 scientists participated in this meeting and nearly 100 exhibitors were present. Phentoypic screening and high content screening were prominent in this conference and we could hear researchers from Roche, Astrazeneca, Read more…
After the first event of ELRIGfr in EPFL in Lausanne, we continue to join the ELRIGfr team in Toulouse with the genotoul on the 15th and 16th of October 2014. We are pleased to see you during this event. If you want to register, follow this link: http://www.elrigfr.org/une-vision-integrale-du-criblage-et-du-design-moleculaire.html
Perkin Elmer is one of the leader in HCS equipment and furniture. To increase the quality of the results in cellular imagery, they have launched a new 384-well microplate : CellCarrier™ Ultra 384-well microplates. We are really excited to test them!
Ever wanted to see the activity of the neurons from a almost entire brain ?
Interestingly, the lab suppliers constantly improve HCS tools, the hard and the software. After the launch of Opera Phenics from Perkin at the beginning of this year, the new CeLLInsight CX5 HCS Platform from ThermoFisher is now available. This HCS platform offers speed, flexibility and efficiency for large-scale, high-throughput biology, including complex morphological Read more…
